- Types of Installation Volunteers
-
Installation volunteers fall into three categories: statutory, private organization, and gratuitous service.
- Statutory Volunteers are those volunteers authorized by federal statute (10 USC 1588) to provide services in certain Department of Defense activities such as MWR, family programs, museums, chaplain, child care, etc. Statutory volunteers, when acting within the scope of their position description, are provided certain benefits by law such as worker’s compensation.
- Private Organization volunteers are part of non-federal entities authorized to operate on the installation. These organizations contribute to the overall installation mission, but their volunteers are not considered statutory. All liability for incidents/accidents or injury to the volunteer are the responsibility of the private organization.
- Gratuitous Service volunteers provide services to organizations not covered under the federal statute, and do so with no expectation of compensation or benefit coverage.
The Army Volunteer Corps (AVC) offers volunteer opportunities community wide, to include on and off post. USAG Ansbach is home to more than 300 volunteers, contributing nearly 30,000 hours annually. This selfless service is equivalent to thousands of dollars contributed in workforce cost & support.
